I am thinking of buying an IMI Timberwolf pump in .357 mag from a family member. It is new in the box. Is the magazine capacity an issue with this one? It is a tubular mag >10 rounds on a centerfire pump action. Anyone know anything about these? Any body ever shoot one? Are they still made? I just like the idea of a small pump in .357. I bet those bullets get moving pretty good out of a 20" barrel.

The stock on the Timberwolf if also adjustable. So when the user puts a scope on the milled rail at the top of the receiver. The 357 magnum Timebrwolf produces the same enrgy at 100 yds. that of a rifled cartrige the 7.62x39.

The tube magazine for the IMI Timber Wolf will need to be limited to 10 rounds, in order to be legal for transfer in CA [PC 12020(a)(2)].

Tube magazine on a pump/slide-action firearm are not exempt. Unless, it is a .22 caliber pump/slide-action firearm.

I used mine in a rifle course a few years back. It was one of those "bring and shoot what you have" affairs.

Was able to keep up for the most part, but the loading port pretty much chewed up my thumb. It was good to know I could make it work in a pinch and have fun with it, but I don't think I'd use it again for that type of shooting.

the timber wolf is soooooo BAD I have wanted one for a few years now. they are just to pricey when i see them for sale last one i saw went for 600 (id give 3or 4) have fun is is a great gun to shoot and a great gun to hunt with too!

I have one in .44 magnum. It is a great carbine and very reliable. Do not use FMJ round nose bullets in it! I saw a picture of a Rossi 92 carbine in .357 that had a detonation in the tube from a RN FMJ bullet setting off the round in front of it. Apparently lead tips are soft enough to cushion the primer but the FMJ can detonate a sensitive primer.

I am thinking of buying an IMI Timberwolf pump in .357 mag from a family member. I bet those bullets get moving pretty good out of a 20" barrel.

The Israelis do a sweet job with weapons, the timberwolf is no exception

They're scarce as hell, easy to carry and shoot, accurate, and just a cool gun. I prefer mine to a lever gun on horseback.

Mine is sweet with an EoTech out to 100yd or so, a compact 2-4x scope would be a nice possibility.

I'm seeing ~2000fps from 158gr jhp or jfp's with reloads...I'm still 5ksi down from maximum .357 pressure. If you reload, Lil' Gun is your powder.

CDNN has oem walnut buttstock/forearm for $39.99, you may want a spare or 2. New Helvetia Trading in old Sac used to have parts kits (everything minus the receiver) but I believe they're out of business. The buttstock is adjustable for drop and the gun will also breakdown if needed with the large screw on the left side of the receiver.

If you decide not to buy the rifle, pm me please...I'd have no issues with a 2nd one.

Get it.

I have to try that method of attaching the front of a sling to the gun via pubic hair.
